Well Dan
looks like you have done a lot . but could or would you have done it with 
out that piece of paper.? What i have or have not done in my life of ham 
radio is a personal matter. i think i have done well in almost 50 yrs of 
hamming. I taught over 100 theory classes not questions and answer classes 
for hams and i get a thrill out of each new ham that took the test. and i 
remember most of them the young 6 yr old yl who got her novice then her 
general and the 90 yr old man who got his tech because he missed the code 
the first time but came back a month later and passed his 13wpm test for 
his general. his eyes light up when he heard he passed. the bottom line Dan 
is what you do for others in your life no matter what field it is in that 
brings pleasure to you. I am sorry you did not have the thrill that myself 
and others did when we passed the tests. but each of us were made different 
by God . I for one would like to thank you for what you have done to help 
new hams. keep up the good work.
73 Tony
